Contemporary Era in Forge of Empires

The Contemporary Era is the 12th age in Forge of Empires and has been added with update 1.37 on October 21st, 2014. InnoGames describes it as the age of the Internet and it mainly acts around the year 2,000.

The Contemporary Era is the most popular age among FoE players. This is mainly a result of the Anti-Aircraft-Vehicle. This video is about what the Contemporary Era has to offer beside battles and fighting tactics as there will come soon a video about Fighting in the Contemporary Era.

The first and the last technology of the Contemporary Era both provide an expansion. After that first technology most players concentrate on the technologies at the bottom of the technology tree. Attack Helicopters and Anti-Aircraft-Vehicles are the most impressive units in the guild expedition while Assault Tanks are used on the province map only. Therefore most concentrate on researching the Anti-Aircraft-Vehicle as soon as possible. All other technologies aren't urgent.

As usual the province map gives us 2 expansions. The second province offers a 3rd deposit of the early Middle Ages. This enables you to produce 3 of the 5 goods yourself. The 6th province then provides a deposit of the Progressive Era, so that you also can produce 3 of the 5 unrefined goods. This gives players the possibility to be much more independent. As in the Contemporary Era great buildings are already on relatively high levels and most players own many event buildings, this aspect is less important today than it was for the first players reaching this age. Today only a small share of all goods result from goods buildings. Most come from guild expedition rewards and event buildings. In case you felt a stress situation caused by goods in the Modern Era, you will be very relaxed now, even if the game mechanics are still the same.

There is no new type of streets in the Contemporary Era. This space efficient possibility to increase the happiness is not a possibility now. In many cases players simply add some levels to the existing Alcatraz to get the required happiness.

Temporarily goods from the Contemporary Era were very demanded. But as so many players stayed much longer in this age we now have a balanced situation of demand and requests in the market. Great buildings as the Lighthouse of Alexandria or the Royal Albert Hall now provide goods from the Progressive Era which accumulate a lot in stock.

The complete research requires 10.452.914 coins and 12.351.147 supplies. For the part up to Anti-Aircraft-Vehicles 2.850.000 coins and 5.050.000 supplies are needed. At least these you should have in stock before you enter the Contemporary Era. Be aware that already early researches require goods from the Contemporary Era. I highly recommend to trade them before you enter the Contemporary Era to avoid a break in your progress only because you need to produce these.

The 2 great buildings of the Contemporary Era are
Innovation Tower
Lotus Temple

Those who did not build the Habitat in the Postmodern Era, should build the Innovation Tower now. This saves so much buildings space by avoiding all residential buildings, that this investment definitely is worth it. On level 10 the Innovation Tower will provide enough population so that you can play completely without residential buildings. Those who already built the Habitat will not need the Innovation Tower on top. While the Habitat provides slightly more population than the Innnovation Tower, I prefer the Innovation Tower because of it's second bonus, the forge points.

The Lotus Temple provides coins and happiness. Most players have enough coins. Even without residential buildings this will not change much as everybody should have already many event building delivering more than enough coins. Happiness can be added easily without the investment of forge points or by simply adding some levels to an existing great building, e g the Alcatraz as this does not require additional space. Therefore you will not see the Lotus Temple in many cities.

In the Contemporary Era for the first time in this game you will have the possibility to have a nearly undefeatable city defense. Nothing is stronger in your city defense than 8 champions, because neither the Contemporary Era nor the Tomorrow Era have a good counter against heavy units. Combined with 250% or more defense bonus, which you can achieve easily with ritual flames, these champions are stronger than the usual attacking Anti-Aircraft-vehicle, champion or light unit combined with rogues. This is another reason why it is so hard for players to say goodbye to the Contemporary Era when the time has come.
